Today, I worked a full shift, and I must have done a good job, because at the end of the day my manager and owner invited me to join them in a round of golf and have a few beers (which I didn't drink because I'm not a slut, frat boy, or middle aged, football, wing-wing eating man.)
It was a bit windy out, but I really enjoyed it. I've only golfed 3 times in my life before this, and I forgot how near-therapeutic it was.
If you golf, have you noticed this? It's a rather relaxing sport, much like fishing (non competitive.)

Its a very fun and interesting sport. I've always loved watching it on television, which may seem strange to some. But I really like the idea of the goal of the game. Trying to get such a small ball into such a small target, from such a distance with the fewest possible moves. That and the outdoor aspect of it. Golf courses, at least the onces here always look visually pleasing.

9 holes, every hole was a par 3, except for one, which was a 4. I shot a 53. Again, this is only my fourth time playing. And its been 5 years since the last time I did. My clubs used to be my grandfathers too, so they are very old and outdated. The woods are actually wood. Persimmon, I think.

2 or 3 of the holes I made par on, but my first tee and two others, i skimmed the top of the ball so it just rolled along the ground 30 yards or so off the tee. Hahaha

I'm very good at a my short game I believe. My drives, tee shots, and putts are what kills it. I may start playing now that it is warming up outside.

I usually shoot in the low 90's but I have been known to really stink it up out there on the course and shoot 100+...
I do not care though, I LOVE IT

Agreed. I don't play competitively, because I know I won't do well. Its just fun to give it your best and see where the ball goes. :D

I think I might load up some drums, get another 100 bucks and run out to LA again. Just so we can play a round. Then I'll call my mom and dad halfway home asking for help again too.

I should shouldn't I? I've certainly lived a lot for only being 19, but I have myself to blame for the parts that weren't enjoyable.

So you're saying I can keep my drums? Haha, just kidding.
If I'm ever in that area again with a set of clubs, I'll let you know though.

Golf isn't so bad, but some of the wankers that play it are. Very competitive. Must have the best clubs. Dress like fools.
It's a bit of a class thing over here.

Mmm yes. I can't stand the yuppies and such on some of the courses. Thats all on my side of town. I go to mid-town to play. Much cheaper, more relaxed.

I've palyed par-3 with the wife a few times. She beats me. I can't hit the fucking ball straight. I'm useless at ballsports. Tennis, squash, cricket, football, golf....... hopeless.
